We decided to host a family barbecue this Fourth of July. We haven't had our family over all summer yet and thought that this would be a perfect time. Though we are infamous for hosting barbecues and having it rain, this one we were lucky. Though dark clouds loomed in the distance earlier in the day, it cleared up and was beautiful by afternoon. It was actually unusually mild---with no wind! The kids had fun doing some sparklers that Uncle Collin and Shokey brought, and rode their bikes and scooters around the circle. We enjoyed fireworks that evening down by the Draper Pool. We have some left over fireworks that we couldn't use since they are illegal in our neighborhood, and are hoping that by next year, we will be in a neighborhood where we can light them up (especially the 'Big Boys'!)! Happy 4th!!
